Hallo大家臭埋，我回到課室了。想分享一下我現(xiàn)在在上課的感受及溫哥華的教育趨勢(shì)百姓。
Hey readers, so I’m back now in Canada officially and getting myself ready for a brand new journey in learning! I’m looking forward to sharing more insights with you in the coming year as I travel around the world to bring to you the latest in education trends worldwide. On a personal note, I’m going to be taking a course in the coming term by Brainstation (which is an educational bootcamp that provides short term courses in the fields of design, product and corporate training). Specifically, the program I’ve enrolled for is on the User Experience (UX) which is presently one of the hotter specializations demanded in the 21st century for it’s applications into different industries (of course I’ll be focusing it on the education side). I have a feeling that these kind of programs will be more in demand in China in the coming future, so please stay tuned as I provide you some insights to what I’ve gained from this program.
Couple of key insights so far from this program:
加速訓(xùn)練營主要面向職業(yè)專業(yè)人員：為了培養(yǎng)缺少技術(shù)（硬）知識(shí)或?qū)夹g(shù)概念性理解的專業(yè)人渊额。 我有一種感覺，這可能與亞洲的情況相反垒拢，因?yàn)樵絹碓蕉嗟膶W(xué)生需要在非技術(shù)（軟）技能領(lǐng)域提高合作端圈，創(chuàng)造力和更多以人為本的技能。
Accelerated bootcamps are primarily run for working professionals: Those who are missing the technical (hard) knowledge or conceptual understanding of technology today. I have a feeling that this may be the opposite in Asia, as more students need a boost in the non technical (soft) skills area on collaboration, creativity and more people-oriented skills. Read more on Techcrunch here.
降低年輕工作員成本和時(shí)間：通過提供小班授課（通常為25名以下學(xué)生）和來自具有高科技行業(yè)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的專業(yè)教師的指導(dǎo)子库，這一系列短期密集課程的新一輪培訓(xùn)讓畢業(yè)生開始走上正軌。
Lower cost & time to get yourself into the workforce: Offering small class sizes (typically 25 students) and mentorship from professional instructors with experience in the tech industry, this new wave of short, intensive courses trains graduates to hit the ground running.
填補(bǔ)人才缺口：以其在行業(yè)發(fā)展趨勢(shì)上的能力而聞名矗晃，他們是彌補(bǔ)人才缺口的新來源仑嗅，特別是在小型創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)業(yè)和初創(chuàng)公司尋找技術(shù)嫻熟的開發(fā)人員。
Filling the talent gap: Known for their ability to stay on top of industry trends, they are the new source for filling the talent gap, particularly in smaller, creative industries and start-ups on the hunt for developers with hard skills.
Here’s my first day at orientation so far…seems like a pretty cool place eh?
Ps: Funny thing was this used to be my mentor’s office (used to be a pretty big software company but has since moved to another location) 搞笑的事张症，這是我之前的導(dǎo)師的辦公室仓技，現(xiàn)在回來了改裝成一個(gè)全新的教室！厲害了（說明溫哥華對(duì)教育的重視）俗他。
希望學(xué)完后有點(diǎn)成果脖捻，到時(shí)候會(huì)好好和你們分享！
I’m hoping that I’ll be able to connect it to designing usable learning experience journeys (via educational apps/technology) that will support you in learning things much more effectively and specifically. Will continue to share my learning experiences in the coming days with you!
